Who is Robin Williams?
Born in Chicago on July 21st, 1951, Williams was raised as an only child and had much time alone with which to develop his imagination, often by memorizing Jonathan Winters' comedy records.
After high school, Williams studied political science at Claremont Men's College, as well as drama at Marin College in California and then at Juilliard. His first real break came when he was cast as a crazy space alien on a fanciful episode of Happy Days. William's portrayal of Mork from Ork delighted audiences and generated so great a response that producer Garry Marshall gave Williams his own sitcom, Mork and Mindy, which ran from 1978 to 1982. The show was a hit and established Williams as one of the most popular comedians (along with Richard Pryor and Billy Crystal) of the '70s and '80s.
Williams made his big screen debut in the title role of Robert Altman's elaborate but financially disastrous comic fantasy Popeye (1980). His next films included the modestly successful The World According to Garp, The Survivors, Moscow on the Hudson, Club Paradise, The Best of Times. Then in 1987, writer-director Barry Levinson drew from both sides of Williams - the manic shtickmeister and the studied Juliard thesp - for Good Morning, Vietnam, in which the comedian-cum-actor portrayed real-life deejay Adrian Cronauer, stationed in Saigon during the late sixties. Levinson shot the film strategically, by encouraging often outrageous, behind-the-mike improvisatory comedy routines for the scenes of Cronauer's broadcasts but evoking more sober dramatizations for Williams's scenes outside of the radio station. Thanks in no small part to this strategy, Williams received a much-deserved Oscar nomination for the role, but lost to Michael Douglas in Wall Street.
Williams subsequently tackled a restrained performance as an introverted scientist trying to help a catatonic Robert De Niro in Awakenings (1990). He also earned accolades for playing an inspirational English teacher in the comedy/drama Dead Poets Society (1989) -- a role that earned him his second Oscar nomination. Williams's tragi-comic portrayal of a mad, homeless man in search of salvation and the Holy Grail in The Fisher King (1991) earned him a third nomination. In 1993, he lent his voice to two popular animated movies, Ferngully: The Last Rain Forest and most notably Aladdin, in which he played a rollicking genie and was allowed to go all out with ad-libs, improvs, and scads of celebrity improvisations.
Further successes came in 1993 with Mrs. Doubtfire, in which he played a recently divorced father who masquerades as a Scottish nanny to be close to his kids. He had another hit in 1995 playing a rather staid homosexual club owner opposite a hilariously fey Nathan Lane in The Birdcage. In 1997, Williams turned in one of his best dramatic performances in Good Will Hunting, a performance for which he was rewarded with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Williams kept up his dramatic endeavors with both of his 1998 films: the comedy Patch Adams and What Dreams May Come, a vibrantly colored exploration of the afterlife. He next had starring roles in both Bicentennial Man and Jakob the Liar, playing a robot-turned-human in the former and a prisoner of the Warsaw ghetto in the latter. Though it was obvious to all that Williams' waning film career needed an invigorating breath of fresh air, many may not have expected the dark 180-degree turn he attempted in 2002 with roles in Death to Smoochy, Insomnia and One Hour Photo. Catching audiences off-guard with his portrayal of three deeply disturbed and tortured souls, the roles pointed to a new stage in Williams' career in which he would substitute the sap for more sinister motivations.
Absent from the big-screen in 2003, Williams continued his vacation from comedy in 2004, starring in the little-seen thriller The Final Cut and in the David Duchovny-directed melodrama The House of D. After appearing in the comic documentary The Aristocrats and lending his voice to a character in the animated adventure Robots in 2005, he finally returned full-time in 2006 with roles in the vacation laugher RV and the crime comedy Man of the Year. His next project, The Night Listener, was a tense and erosive tale of literary trickery fueled by such serious issues as child abuse and AIDS.
Williams wasn't finished with comedy, however. He lent his voice to the cast of the family feature Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2, played a late night talk show host who accidentally wins a presidential election in Man of the Year, portrayed an enthusiastic minister in License to Wed, and played a statue of Teddy Roosevelt that comes to life in Night at the Museum and its sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. He would also enjoy family-friendly comedic turns in World's Greatest Dad, Shrink, and Old Dogs.
In 2013, he returned to television, playing the head of an advertising agency in The Crazy Ones; the show did well in the ratings, but was canceled after only one season. He also played yet another president, Dwight Eisenhower, in Lee Daniel's The Butler. Williams died in 2014 at age 63.

You'll Never Look At Movies The Same Way Again. These Before & After Shots Are Crazy.
November 14, 2016 before and after pictures, before and after special effects, creative, holly wood, special effects, special effects pictures
It has been discovered that the average American watches television about 5 hours a day. That's a lot of programming being consumed and that number doesn't even include how many hours of movies we see in theaters or in our own homes. Every day we are being entertained, but every day we are being lied to (but not in a harmful way). Most people would never catch how it's being done. Special effects and CGI (computer generated imagery) is a useful tool in the entertainment industry. Over the years, the techniques have improved. Now, when most television shows or movies use CGI, the viewers can't even tell what's real and what's not… HINT: Most of it's not.
Before: we see a green screen and a boom mic.
After: a cruise ship on the ocean.
Before: actor Andrew Lincoln riding a horse in a parking lot.
After: Rick Grimes riding a horse into Atlanta.
Before: a small soccer field.
After: a giant World Cup stadium.
Before: a private entrance into a house.
After: a private entrance that leads up to a mansion.
Before: tables in front of a green screen.
After: a bustling restaurant.
Before: two actors posing in front of a screen.
After: a scene in the middle of a city.
Before: a helicopter body in a parking lot.
After: the remnants of an apocalypse.
You should never trust anything you see in the movies or television shows. "Movie magic" has been around for decades, but now the magic is almost seeming… magical. Share these cool before and after photos by clicking below.

Joss Whedon: Politicians Who Deny Climate Change 'Deny Basic Scientific Truth'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
by Naharnet Newsdesk 07 May 2015, 13:12
If there's anything to be gleaned about Joss Whedon's worldview from his hit show Firefly, it might be that he's pessimistic about the future of politics.
"Nothing will change in the future," Whedon, who also wrote and directed the enormously successful Avengers movie, once said about the dystopian universe depicted in Firefly. "Technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."
On Earth Day — Whedon revealed that he thinks one of those political problems of today is climate change. In a series of tweets, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator chastised U.S. politicians who don't accept climate science, saying they are denying "basic scientific truth."
"The climate IS changing — if we can't, that makes us dumber than weather #ClimateChangeIsReal," he tweeted. "Policy makers who deny basic scientific truth should also be denied penicillin, horseless carriages, [and] air time on the magic box of shadows," read a subsequent tweet.
While conservatives decried Whedon's "no penicillin" rhetoric as "unhinged," his logic is not new. Many high-profile scientists have suggested that politicians who deny climate science are arbitrarily picking and choosing which kind of science they want to believe is true. So, while they benefit from the scientific method in other areas — modern medicine, engineering, and so on — they choose to reject it in areas where it's politically inconvenient.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has put it similarly. "Science is not there for you to cherry pick," he has said. "You can decide whether or not to believe in it, but that doesn't change the reality of an emergent scientific truth."
As it stands now, 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate change over the last 100 years is "very likely" due to human activities, according to NASA. In addition, the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — a panel made up of 1,250 international climate experts and approved by every major government in the world — states that it is 95 percent sure that humans are the main cause of current global warming.
That scientific consensus, however, does not reflect itself in U.S. politics. Right now, 53 percent — or 131 members — of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives deny that human-caused global warming is occurring, according to a Center for American Progress analysis. In addition, 70 percent of Republican Senators are on record expressing skepticism about the validity of climate science.

Press release from Ministry of Finance
Sweden's economy continues to perform well
The Ministry of Finance is today presenting the latest forecast for the economy and public finances.
"Our forecasts for growth and unemployment remain largely unchanged, but public finances are expected to be somewhat stronger than they were in the last forecast," says Minister for Finance Magdalena Andersson.
Growth is expected to be 2.8 per cent this year, to then slow to 2.2 per cent next year. The unemployment forecast remains unchanged and unemployment is expected to continue to fall, at the same time as the employment rate continues to be the highest in over 25 years.
Public finances are estimated to be somewhat stronger, both this year and next, than forecast in December. This upward revision is primarily due to reduced government expenditure, but also because tax revenues are considered to be growing slightly faster.
The risk of growth being weaker than expected is substantial, however. In addition to the risk of a more dramatic slowdown in China, political uncertainty surrounds Brexit and the United States, coupled with recent financial unease and volatile housing prices.
"This is why it is so important that the Government has turned a deficit into a surplus during this electoral period, at the same time as the national debt has fallen substantially and unemployment has been pushed back. Sweden is thus well equipped to tackle both social problems and any economic imbalances," says Ms Andersson.

"Get prepared on the East Coast, this is a no-kidding nightmare coming for you," Gerst said.
The Miami-based NHC stressed, however, that while a slow weakening is expected over the next 24 hours "Florence is still forecast to be an extremely dangerous major hurricane when it nears the US coast late Thursday and Friday."
"Get out of its way, don't play games with it, it's a big one, maybe as big as they've seen," Trump said. "We'll handle it.
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency "in light of the storm's forecasted southward track after making landfall."

9 things to know about the conflict between Chief McManus and SAPD union
mySA staff
Carolyn Van Houten / Carolyn Van HoutenCall for resignation after "no confidence" vote
On March 24, 2016, the San Antonio Police Officers Association called for SAPD Chief William McManus' resignation, citing a non-binding, private-ballot vote in which 1,944 of SAPD's 2,164 officers – or 97 percent – registered a vote of "no confidence" in McManus' leadership.

William Luther, Staff / San Antonio Express-NewsRejection of resignation call
McManus, flanked by City Manager Sheryl Sculley, District 4 Councilman Rey Saldaña and several other city officials and employees rejected the call for resignation at a City Hall press conference on March 24, 2016. McManus, who has been chief since 2006 with a brief hiatus last year, said he considers the vote "illegitimate."
John Davenport, Staff / San Antonio Express-NewsMajor crux
The president of the SAPOA union has said the driving force of the "no confidence vote" was McManus' handling of an officer who fatally shot an unarmed man Feb. 4, 2016, calling it "the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back."
Jacob Beltran / San Antonio Express-NewsDetails of the shooting
Officer John Lee shot and killed Antronie Scott, 36, while attempting to arrest him in a North Side apartment complex parking lot on outstanding felony warrants. Lee, who was in uniform, was called to the scene by undercover officers who had followed Scott to the complex. Lee has said he opened fire after he mistook a cellphone in Scott's hand for a gun.

Jacob Beltran / San Antonio Express-NewsTraining, not discipline
McManus initially issued an indefinite suspension to Lee for his role in Scott's death, which angered many officers. Within a week, McManus rescinded the suspension and issued training to the officer rather than discipline. The SAPOA union said McManus' handling of the situation was bad for the department's morale and called for the "no confidence" vote.

Take a trip to the outer cliff side of the Whale Island. Facing westwards towards the Arctic ocean and an hour drive from Tromsø to a snow shoe hike in Norway's wild backyard.
When coming to Tromsø, a guided snow shoe hike is a cheap and effective way to see the area. The Whale Island is known for its dramatic nature.
In the company of your knowledgeable guide, you will head out to the more untamed parts outside the city and experience what it means to hike in the Arctic over the winter season.
Equipped with a pair of snowshoes, you will explore the local fjords and mountains and maybe even spot some reindeer or moose. Then take a break and warm up next to a fire while munching on tasty snacks and hot drinks. To make it that much more exciting, grab one of the snow-sliders and skid down the hill while slashing some snow!
This hike will take you towards the peak "Brosmetinden." Walk a simple path along the cliff overlooking the Arctic Ocean. Included is photographs, information and guided hike. Midway, if wanted, a walk without snowshoes to the top is possible. At the top you will find a note book where hikers write down their name and country of origin. The hike takes approximately 25 minutes to the top from the cliff edge (first rest stop), and similarly 25 minutes back. Some time can be spent on the top or the midway point to enjoy the view and take in the scenery. The air is fresh.
The trip lasts for 4-5 hours and is coordinated by a professional guide there to ensure you have the best time en route with stories of life in Northern Norway, knowledge about the area, and photography assistance. Your guide will plan a trip in the local area with spectacular sights of the Norwegian sea and surrounding mountains and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the snow!
You will receive all of the needed equipment upon arriving at the trail, so just bring your warm boots, mittens, and happy energy!
Please make sure to bring appropriate clothing, especially on a windy day. The tour does not guarantee having clear weather. Please note that there are no toilets available, but nature is a good substitute.

Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
(ANTI- Records)
I'll get right to it- I still think Deafheaven's Sunbather is a landmark album, black metal or other wise and consider its standout tracks "The Pecan Tree", "Dreamhouse" and "Sunbather" absolute gems that I still play regularly. However, I wasn't nearly as enamored with the follow up, New Bermuda as the band tried to be grittier and thrasher with mixed results.
Well, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love sorta swings completely in the opposite direction and continues the band's experimentation and flirtation with The Smiths/The Cure like moods mixed with the warmer, blackgaze tropes that has made the band so divisive, and this album will certainly amply that sentiment among fans.
As if to really weed out the naysayers and see who really wants to commit to this sound, opener "You Without End" a real shit show with female spoken word about Oakland ( performed by Nadia Kury, taken from excerpts of the story "black and borax" by Tom McElravey), delicate pianos and pop darkwave riffs and keys colliding awkwardly with the shrill black metal vocals. But then its as if the band say "OK, everyone who hates us has left? ", then purposely deliver "Honeycomb", which renders the most Sunbather-like uplifting, glittering black melody on the album. The peak about 2 minutes in just pure Deafheaven at their shimmering, rending best.
The rest of the album shifts between the two elements of the opening duo, with lots of moody, mopey darkwave/pop ish metal and bursts of glimmering harmonies that make the band so perfect at times yet so frustrating at others. "Canary Yellow", the album's longest track (12 minutes) takes a while to get going with mid paced warbling and shrieks, but about halfway in we get more classic Deafheaven heart bursting, melodic black metal that makes the 2nd half of the track well worth the wait, even with the 80s pops clean vocals that surface.
"Near" brings things to a screeching halt with a essentially a 5 minute whiny ballad that just didn't need to be recorded or put on the album, but its followed by "Glint", the album's second longest cut and again delivers what Deafheaven to best, a moody emotive shoegaze build crescendo-ing with near perfect balance of rending and soaring harmonies that smear with the dichotomous sonic metaphor of tear stained corpsepaint .
Penultimate track "Night People" is likely to get the most attention from haters and fans alike. Featuring Chelsea Wolfe, it's essentially a 4 minute synthwave duet/ballad lacking the dark sensual throb of Wolfe's solo work. I'd like to say 10 minute closer "Worthless Animal" cleanses the palette with another of the album's standouts, but it keeps teasing a classic Deafheaven peak that never comes, leaving a really unfulfilled feeling to end the album , which kind sums up the entire release really.
But overall, the few stellar moments make Ordinary Corrupt Human Love a better overall album that New Bermuda, but still a confusing album that like Sunbather has 3 tracks that you can go straight to, and ignore all the other literal fluff. The frustrating thing is when Deafheaven are 'on' and knuckle down with a trademark, knee wilting black metal burst, its something to behold, bu there is so much other interference and experimentation, it loses its impact and makes the entire affair less enjoyable.

Commented by: Nick Taxidermy
I really like this album a lot. Now I'm an enthusiastic fan of the Cure and shoegaze stuff and Chelsea Wolfe, but even the black metal stuff on here is really something special. Got me listening to Envy again, too.

Just say what you really think, Jack.
Here's Paul Rudd in character as Marvel's Ant-Man.
And here he is with his 9-year-old son Jack who, quite frankly, couldn't care less that his Dad plays the superhero on screen.
In an interview with ET, Rudd revealed his son's hilarious response when he found out about the role.
"I told my son I was going to be a superhero. He asked, 'who?' and I said 'Ant-Man'. He said 'what?' He was not that impressed... What he actually said was 'wow I can't wait to see how stupid that'll be'."
Paul, your son just totally owned you.

Here's What AirAsia Has To Say About Allegations Of A RM204 Million Bribe From Airbus
The airline has denied "any and all allegations of wrongdoing".

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) of the United Kingdom has alleged that Airbus SE bribed directors and/or employees of AirAsia and AirAsia X to secure the purchase of aircraft from the airliner manufacturer
According to court documents dated 31 January 2020 from the Southwark Crown Court, a designated serious fraud centre in the United Kingdon (UK), "persons associated with Airbus offered very substantial sums of money by way of bribes to third parties in order to secure the purchase of aircraft".

In the brief facts of the counts on the criminal accusation, the court documents made available to the public by the UK Judicial Office stated that the first count alleges that between 1 July 2011 and 1 June 2015, Airbus failed to prevent its people from bribing directors and/or employees of AirAsia where the said bribery was intended to obtain or retain business for the airliner manufacturer.
"AirAsia and AirAsia X are two major airlines in Southeast Asia, headquartered in Malaysia and were significant customers of Airbus at the time of the offences," paragraphs 40 of the court documents read.
"Between October 2005 and November 2014, AirAsia and AirAsia X ordered 406 aircraft from Airbus, including 180 aircraft secured by way of improper payment of USD50 million (RM204 million) paid to directors and/or employees of AirAsia and AirAsia X airlines as sponsorship for a sports team.
"The sports team was jointly owned by AirAsia Executive 1 and AirAsia Executive 2 but was legally unrelated to AirAsia and AirAsia X," according to the brief facts of the documents.
The sports team mentioned in the court documents is Queens Park Rangers (QPR) Football Club.
According to Queens Park Rangers' Wikipedia page, it has three owners with Tan Sri Dr Anthony Francis Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun's Tune Group holding 55% stake, Malaysian businessman Ruben Gnanalingam with 33% stake, and India's richest person Lakshmi Mittal holding an 11% stake.
AirAsia has since issued a statement on the SFO's allegations
According to the statement, AirAsia "was neither involved in any way whatsoever with the SFO's investigation of Airbus nor given any opportunity to provide any information or clarification to the SFO".
Image via Reuters/SCMP
AirAsia said it never made any purchase decisions that were based on sponsorship by Airbus of QPR jointly owned by AirAsia executives
AirAsia vigorously rejects and denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing.
"The entering into of each aircraft purchase agreement was never made by any single individual decision, but instead arrived at through careful evaluation, deliberation and the collective decision of the board members after taking into account technical specifications, aircraft flight performance and operating economics," read the statement by AirAsia made available to SAYS.
"The superiority and reliability of the aircraft and increasingly attractive pricing being offered to maintain our competitive edge in the airline business were key considerations. As a customer of Airbus since 2005, AirAsia never made purchase decisions that were premised on an Airbus sponsorship."
Tan Sri Dr Anthony Francis Fernandes.

According to the budget carrier, negotiations and dealings for aircraft purchases were done "directly with Airbus on an arm's length basis, and without the involvement of any third parties or intermediaries"
In the statement that was issued yesterday, 1 February, the airline stated that "AirAsia executives negotiated rigorously in the interests of the company and had at all times acted in good faith."
"Furthermore, the involvement of Airbus in the sponsorship of the sports team was a well-known and widely-publicised matter bringing branding and other benefits to Airbus," it added.
Meanwhile, according to the statement issued by the airline, it cannot comment on or be associated with any alleged failures or lapses on the part of Airbus to comply with its own policies or applicable legal requirements as "AirAsia and its executives have no visibility on Airbus' internal processes".
Prior to AirAsia's statement, the chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said that the agency is in "touch with the UK authorities and is already investigating the matter"
The anti-graft agency has the jurisdiction to investigate any act of corruption committed by any Malaysian citizen or permanent resident in any place outside of Malaysia, according to the MACC boss.
"Under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act we are empowered, and have jurisdiction, to investigate any act of corruption committed by any Malaysian citizen or permanent resident in any place outside Malaysia," MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said in a statement yesterday.
"In the case of the Airbus-AirAsia disclosures, I confirm that the MACC is in touch with the UK authorities and is already investigating the matter," read the statement posted on its official Twitter account.

Ро́стверк (, от  — решётка и  — строение) — верхняя часть свайного фундамента, распределяющая нагрузку от несущих элементов здания или сооружения.

Название «ростверк» возникло в связи с применявшейся ранее конструкцией, имевшей вид решётки из деревянных брусьев, по которой укладывался дощатый настил.

Описание

Ростверк — элемент свайного фундамента, опирающийся на одиночную сваю, «свайный куст» (две и более сваи) или «свайное поле», и выполняется в виде обвязочных балок, перекрёстных лент или плит, объединяющих оголовки столбов (свай) и служащих опорной конструкцией для возводимых выше несущих элементов здания или сооружения.

Ростверк называется высоким, если он расположен значительно выше уровня грунта или воды (например, в причальных сооружениях портов), повышенным, когда его подошва совпадает с отметкой планировки грунта и низким, когда он заглублён в грунт (например, в фундаментах жилых и промышленных зданий).

Ростверк может иметь жёсткое или шарнирное соединение со сваями, согласно принятым проектным решениям для конкретного объекта. При жёстком соединении заделка выпусков сваи — ненапряжённых анкерных арматурных стержней или арматурного каркаса — либо головы сваи выполняется на глубину заделки арматуры в тело ростверка, либо производится сварка стальных элементов закладных деталей, при этом сам ростверк рассчитывается на продавливание. При шарнирном соединении заделка выпусков или головы сваи производится без расчёта на выдёргивание на глубину  для предотвращения скольжения по грунту.

При сопряжении ростверков со сборными железобетонными колоннами проектом предусматриваются сборные ростверки стаканного типа с подколонником или без него, с монолитными железобетонными колоннами — монолитные бетонные или железобетонные ростверки, со стальными колоннами — любого типа, крепление колонн к ростверкам выполняется с помощью анкерных болтов.

В высотных зданиях (небоскрёбах) ростверками называют решётчатые пространственные конструкции, расположенные вверху здания и/или на некоторых промежуточных этажах, которые служат для повышения пространственной жёсткости здания и более равномерного распределения нагрузок между вертикальными несущими конструкциями (колоннами, стенами ). Ростверки также используются для опоры на них или подвешивания к ним конструкций нескольких этажей зданий ствольной конструктивной системы (с «ядрами жёсткости»). В этом случае ростверк является консольной конструкцией. Используется также термин «аутригер-ростверк».

Материалом для ростверка в современном строительстве служат преимущественно бетон (в том числе фибробетон либо железобетон, сборный или монолитный), реже — дерево и металл.

Большеразмерный плитный ростверк под нагрузки от тяжёлого здания или сооружения рассчитывается на изгиб и на продавливание колонны и угловой сваи, высота плитной части ростверка определяется из расчёта возможности восприятия ей поперечных сил.

The NBA Changed Dwight Howard Into a Whining Brat
Curtis Bunn
Whatever happened to Dwight Howard? Not that indecisive, whining, brooding Dwight Howard of the NBA's Orlando Magic, now shelved for the playoffs because of back surgery. We all should have gotten our fill of that latest version of the league's premier big man.
Missing for too long now has been the Dwight Howard of 2004, that 18-year-old kid from S.W. Atlanta Christian High School that was appealing in his naivety and inspiring in his humility.
That Dwight Howard claimed he would work to change the NBA's logo to include a cross, that his religious foundation would prevent him from being stained by the grime of professional sports life.
All these years later, the logo is the same and Howard is not.
He is perhaps the most unlikely case study of how the perpetual spotlight and financial windfall of being a pro sports star can create an oversized spoiled brat. He is that guy because of all the expectations and promise of him not becoming that guy.
Hardly anyone would have expected that Howard would father a child out of wedlock and be embroiled in a nasty, public series of law suits over money and custody with the mother, who happens to be one of the mindless "Basketball Wives" (although neither she nor many of the featured women on the show are actually wives, making the show as much contradictory as it is dumb.)
Having a child while not married happens; it is not a crime or anything to be ashamed of. But when you have claimed God as your foundation and that you would bring religion into the seedy underworld of the NBA, it just comes off as a little more flagrant, you know?
Hardly anyone would have expected that Howard align himself with head-shaking characters like he did in co-hosting an NBA All-Star Weekend party in Orlando with the NFL's Antonio Cromartie and Willis McGahee, two men who have more than 14 children (that number could be higher) between them by more than a dozen different women. Not good.
In the winter, Howard was a mess, one day saying he wanted to be traded, another saying he wanted to stay in Orlando, the next back to being moved. Finally, just as the team was prepared to deal him, he announced he wanted to stay and see what the Magic could do this post season. Through it all, he came off as a spoiled, selfish kid unable to make up his mind. For sure, deciding on where you will live and work is a big deal, one that requires intense thought. But the back and forth showed little regard for anyone else, especially his teammates.
Then there was the news that he asked Magic management to fire coach Stan Van Gundy. We learned that through none other than Stan Van Gundy. That was an unprecedented—and questionable—move, but it shed more light on Howard and who he has become. He is not the first player to want a coach run – Magic Johnson got Paul Westhead bounced a year after the Los Angeles Lakers won a title in the 1980s, if you recall. But Howard made a mess of the situation by showing up at Van Gundy's gathering with the media and trying (unsuccessfully) to present a united front between he and the coach.
Now come reports that Howard, after all, does want to be traded before next season. His back surgery may impact his market value now, but his morphing into a sports diva will, too. People around some teams, like the Chicago Bulls, would say they'd rather not have him and what appears to be a "me first" attitude.
His last basket as a high school player was a power dunk to cap off another state championship for SW Atlanta Christian. I wrote in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time that it was a symbolic dunk, representative of what his NBA career would be. I was not wrong.
But I was not talking about who Dwight Howard would become. At the time, that was not even an issue. He signed autographs with "God bless" beside his signature, "to let people know everything I have gotten is because of God," he said.
In his recently released book for kids, "All You Can Be. Learning and Growing Through Sports," he wrote: "everything I have achieved is through hard work."
That's what eight years in the NBA can do. It can—if you allow it, as he has—morph a fun-loving kid who had a whole campus of elementary, middle and high-schoolers looking up to him (and not because of his height) into a self-centered jock. They adored his "one of us" attitude and his smile and playful nature. That was then. . .
This does not mean it is over for Dwight Howard, that we have seen the best of him. He's just 26. There is a lot of good in him. He's been a blessing to the Orlando community and its youths with his foundation. He has an infectious personality, undeniable talent and strong family ties.
Those close to him might even reject the notion that he has changed at all, that money and fame have not swelled his ego. They'd be lying.

The state emblem of Uzbekistan was formally adopted on July 2, 1992 by the newly establish Republic of Uzbekistan. It bears many similarities to the emblem of the previous Uzbek SSR, which Republic of Uzbekistan succeeded. Like other post-Soviet republics whose symbols do not predate the October Revolution, the current emblem retains some components of the Soviet one. Prior to 1992, Uzbekistan had an emblem similar to all other Soviet Republics, with standard communist emblems and insignia.

The coat of arms displays the natural wealth of the country. On the left there is a cotton plant, which has been immensely important to the country's industry and agriculture since the Soviet era as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was one of the main producers and supplies of cotton in the entirety of the USSR, thus it is often called the white gold symbolizing its sheer significance. To the right is a wreath of wheat ears, symbolizing the country's wealth and prosperity. Together, both cotton and wheat plants are intertwined with the ribbon of the state flag, which portrays the peace and consolation of different peoples and ethnic groups living within the republic.

It is surmounted by the blue star of Rub El Hizb (۞) with white star and crescent inside, a symbol of Islam, which a majority of Uzbeks profess.

In the center, a right-facing Huma (or Khumo) is displayed with outstretched wings. This legendary bird symbolizes peace, happiness and striving for freedom. Enclosed by the Huma's wings is a depiction of the rising sun over mountains, overlooking green pastures. Two rivers, the Amu Darya and Sir Darya, flow from the mountains and crepuscular rays emanate from the rising sun at the rear of the emblem.

The Khumo is perched on a banner at the base of the cotton and wheat borders which bears the national colors and the name of the country in Latin script ().

Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic within Uzbekistan uses an emblem based on Uzbekistan's, but featuring the regional colors blue, gold, and green. It features only one river, the Amu Darya, along with a local monument at the background of the emblem, adjacent to the mountains.

History

Prior to the October Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet regime in the country, the local khanates and emirates such as the Emirate of Bukhara and the Khanate of Khiva that gave way to the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, lacked the coat of arms in the western sense of the word, with the local states using more traditional ways of self-representation and symbols of governance.

Bukharan People's Republic

On September 1, 1920, the Young Bukharians and bukharan communists started a revolt in the city of Charjow supported by the RSFSR, against the emir of Bukhara Mohammed Alim Khan and the government of the Emirate. On the second September, the bolsheviks and their allies captured the city after heavy aerial bombardment and an effective destruction of numerous parts of the city. Emir of Bukhara and his court first fled to the Eastern Bukhara and subsequently into Afghanistan.

14 September 1920 marked the date when a republican form of government was adopted and all the related government institutions were established.  On October 8, during the All-Bukharan Kurultai, formation of the Bukharan People's Soviet Republic was announced, followed by an adoption of a constitution on 23 September of the next year, by the same congressional body, the kurultai.

The 78th Article of the constitution of Bukharan P.S.R. was as follows:

Uzbek S.S.R

On 13–15 February 1925, in the city of Bukhara, the first Uzbek Congress of the Soviets issued a declaration about the establishment of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. And 22 June 1925, the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of the Uzbek SSR adopted a resolution No.67 Concerning the emblem and the flag of the Uzbek SSR, which temporarily, until the establishment of the Constitution of the Uzbek SSR. established the emblem of the republic.

The project of the emblem taken as basis of the final design consisted of depictions of uraq (a sickle) and a hammer criss-cross with the handles down and surrounded by a wreath of ears and branches of cotton. The red ribbon, surrounding the wreath, is adorned with the inscription Uz.S.S.R (in the Arabic script of the Uzbek Language and in Russian. A red star with a golden borders is located at the upper side of the emblem; the emblem is surrounded with the inscription, both in Russian and Uzbek, of the communist motto: "Proletarians of the world, unite!".

In 1927–1928, a series of reforms were made to change the writing system of the Uzbek Language into a Latinized alphabet, known as Yañalif, intended as a singular alphabet for all the Turkic Languages of the USSR. In accordance with this, the inscription on the coat of arms was altered, in order to reflect the current reforms. Furthermore, several smaller changes were implemented due to the secession of Tajikistan as a separate republic within the Soviet Union in 1929 and separation of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic from the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic.

On July 11, 1939, a decree was issued by the Central Government of the Soviet Union, as to alter the alphabets of several republics within the union into the cyrillic script. Thus, on 8 May 1940, the Uzbek script was changed from Latin alphabet, into the new Cyrillic one, based on Russian. On 16 January 1941, the emblem of the republic followed suit, and it too, switched its inscription from Latin script to Cyrillic. Hence, the coat of arms got a new insignia of «Ӯз.С.С.Р.» in the place of the old Latin one.

Further down the line, in the new constitution of 19 April 1978, a new description of the emblem was given, which brought forth several alterations to the design. The article 178. read thusly:

This version of the emblem survived until the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, when a new coat of arms, along with other state insignia such as a flag  was adopted, for the newly independent Republic of Uzbekistan.

Post Independence
The current state emblem of Uzbekistan approved by the 10th session of the Supreme Council of Uzbekistan on 2 July 1992 in accordance with the law No. 616-XII "About the State emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan".

The symbolism
In the centre of the emblem depicts Khumo with wings spread — in Uzbek mythology, the symbol of happiness and freedom. Uzbek poet Alisher Navoi characterized the bird Humo as the kindest of all living beings.

In the upper part of the emblem is an octagon, symbolizing the unity and the confirmation of the republic. The crescent and star inside the eight-pointed star are the sacred symbols of Islam.

The image of the sun symbolizes the light that illuminates the path of the Uzbek state, whilst the flourishing valley emphasizes the unique and favorable natural and climatic conditions of the Republic.

Two rivers, run through the valley, representing the Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya, which flow through the territory of Uzbekistan.

The ears of wheat are the symbol of bread, and mark the wealth and prosperity of the republic, with open cotton boxes characterizing the previously vital cotton industry of Uzbekistan. Together, wheat and cotton boxes entwined with ribbon of the tricolor of national flag, symbolize the consolidation of the peoples living in the Republic.

1."Kanari": "very". Used exactly like totemo, to mean virtually the same thing as totemo.
2. "Toku ni": "very, especially." This manga is especially funny. Kono manga wa toku ni omoshiroi".
3. Zuibun: means "awfully". Like, "It's been an awfully long time" "Zuibun nagai aida ne?"
4. Ooi ni: "largely, very". Often used to describe the extent to which someone participates in something. "Ooi ni sansei desu." "I largely agree"
5. Kiwamete: "very" with the implication that the amount far exceeds what it common. It's more often seen in writing, however.
6. "Yoppodo": "To a large extent".
8. "Tondemonai" means "unthinkably etc.", but you'll see it a lot as a stand-alone phrase to mean something like "That's ridiculous".
9. Depending on context, you may also want words like "hontou ni" for "really" like "Hontou ni ii no?" "Is it really okay?".
10. You can also use "Konna", to emphasize "like this". For example, "Itsumo fuyu wa konna ni samui?" "Is winter always this (very )cold?".
11. "Zenzen" emphasises absoluteness. So like "Zenzen chigau yo!" "You're absolutely wrong!". Or in the negative "Zenzen ikanai" "I'm absolutely not going, by any means".
12. "Hijou ni" = "super, incredibly, abnormally". It's like a very emphatic "totemo".
Sugoku (from sugoi): greatly, very. "Sore, sugoku hachamecha" "That's really messed up".
Chou: Very, super. "Chou nagai" "very long".
Pascal - great list. I'm in Japan right now. I'll try some of these out on the locals.
No problem! I'm always glad to help.

Debt Deal for Ireland: A Step in the Right Direction?
The Irish debt deal did not reduce the amount owed by the country. Ireland still owes in the region of 125BN Euro – a staggering figure that will take decades to pay off. The new debt deal merely allows part of the debt to be paid off over a longer term.
This is not necessarily a bad thing if you are able to ignore the immorality of it. By pushing the debt repayments down the road to the year 2053 the current Government has essentially lumbered today's toddlers with the task of paying their parents debts. On the other hand, the breathing space that will be created by not having to pay as much as 2BN Euro annually over the next 10 years has given the current generation the opportunity to create jobs and growth to repair the damage sooner.
Under the deal the Central Bank of Ireland swapped high-yielding 'Promissory Notes' for longer-term Government Bonds. The original deal was to cost over 3BN Euro annually for the next 10 years. The new deal sees a reduction in the interest rate from 8% to 3% and stretches the loan out to 40 years. This reduces the borrowing requirement of the Government in the short term which it is hoped will free up funds for job creation.
The response in Ireland to the news of the deal has been broadly welcoming although those opposed to the whole concept of the Government bailing out the banks to begin with used the opportunity to demand that a write-down of Irish banking debt be sought immediately.
The Fine Gael and Labour Party coalition Government made the point that the European Central Bank has never agreed to debt write-down before so it would have been pointless to even negotiate on that basis. The more militant of those opposing the Government want to see an immediate default on the debt to force the issue with the ECB, EU and IMF.
This may yet happen.
The level of debt being carried by Irish citizens and small businesses is reaching catastrophic proportions. Although the economy of the country has stabilised it is still quite dreadful. Unemployment in Ireland is stuck at over 14%, Irish emigration is at pre-Famine levels and job creation is barely perceptible. The gamble by Fine Gael that they can soldier on in the hope that the economy recovers may backfire under an avalanche of personal debt and mortgage defaults. In such a scenario a massive default on the loans granted to us by our European 'partners' will become a question of 'when' and 'how much' rather than 'if'.
Against this backdrop the much vaunted 'Promissory Note' deal may become just another footnote in this bizarre period of Irish history.

The Bishops Go On Offense
Robert Royal
A Notre Dame professor reminded me this week of an old football saying: offense sells seats, but defense wins games. Painfully true about the problems of the Irish this year, but I've never thought much of that proposition. Taken to its logical extreme, the most you could hope for relying solely on defense is 0-0 ties. Far preferable is the profound and incarnational wisdom of the coach who said that "prayers work better when the linemen are big."
I'll drop the football metaphors, not least because, in an odd way, the Church is also on the side of the other team's players, though not their views. But the metaphors suggest truths about the Church in America. We've played defense too long; meanwhile the other side has run up the score. I'm happy to say, however, that, in recent weeks, some of the American hierarchy have gone beyond defense and onto cultural offense. You won't hear much about it in the secular media, or find it characterized this way, but we are seeing a new generation of bishops with big enough shoulders not only to stand up for Catholicism but to try to move the ball forward in American culture.
First, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has become, as a body, rock-solid about opposing current healthcare proposals if they include abortion. They have warned Congress of that threat, despite the bishops' long held view that healthcare is a "basic human right." You don't have to be a sophisticated theologian to see this as concrete living out of the belief that, as the bishops and Vatican have often said, the right to life is the basis of all other rights and therefore takes precedence over them. A high-placed prelate told me a few days ago that if coverage of abortion is not removed from the reform proposals, the bishops as a group will go on the attack "because we'll have nothing to lose."
That's refreshing talk. Not that long ago, there might have been vocal resistance within the USCCB itself, but recent reforms of the conference have all but removed that possibility and enabled strong action. Note the bishops' healthcare petition drive, which began yesterday.
Individual bishops have been stepping up the offensive, too. Perhaps none more sharply than Bishop Thomas J. Tobin of Providence. Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy (Ted Kennedy's son) professed in October not to understand the Church: "You mean to tell me the Catholic Church is going to be denying those people life saving health care? I thought they [sic!] were pro-life?" Instead of the usual diplomatic response, Tobin called Kennedy an "embarrassment" to the Church, and continued "Congressman Patrick Kennedy's statement about the Catholic Church's position on health care reform is irresponsible and ignorant of the facts. . . .But the Congressman is correct in stating that 'he can't understand.' He got that part right."
Sad to say, Kennedy does seem to have been occupied at some celestial watering hole when they were passing out brains. But Tobin's candor – and demand for an apology – may make other compromised Catholic politicians a bit more gun shy.
Similar scuffles have occurred internationally. I was in Rome in early October when Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput's article appeared in the newspaper Il Foglio, rebutting an earlier piece by Swiss Cardinal Georges Cottier, who defended Notre Dame's invitation of President Obama. The cardinal had clearly been put up to the job by someone in America. In Italy, where political correctness is less evident than here, the headline to the Chaput article read, "The Redskin Bishop's Tomahawk." Chaput is part Native American, and you can read the article here and judge for yourself whether the archbishop went on the warpath.
Either way, though, another example of taking Catholic truth aggressively to the culture.
But maybe the best example of the trend is an op-ed submitted by New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan last week to The New York Times. The Times declined to run his embarrassing evidence of media bias – not least by the NYT itself – against the Church. Dolan cites, by way of example, news stories in the Times about sexual abuse by rabbis in the Jewish community (forty last year alone) and by numerous teachers in NYC public schools. But neither of these regrettable abuses has drawn the public scolding and calls for investigation that Catholic lapses have. In fact, says the good archbishop, the Times just went out of its way to report a quarter-century-old story about a single Franciscan who had fathered a child, "above the fold" on the front page.
The bias is not limited to the news pages. The Times allows columnists like Maureen Dowd regular attacks on the Catholic Church, most recently over the visitation of women's religious orders, about which Dowd and the Times know nothing. Dolan does not mince words, "But her prejudice, while maybe appropriate for the Know-Nothing newspaper of the 1850's, the Menace, has no place in a major publication today."
Somewhere Archbishop "Dagger John" Hughes, one of Dolan's nineteenth-century predecessors in New York, who a newspaper in his own day tried to ruffle by calling him "more a Roman gladiator than a devout follower of the meek founder of Christianity," must have been smiling.
Don't think these scuffles are just part and parcel of a vigorous American pluralism. They portend something far more sinister. The Washington Post just carried an interview with the militant atheist Richard Dawkins making utterly outrageous remarks about Catholicism in a regular column on faith. The Post would have taken great pains not to publish such slanders about any other religion. (Please read it. If your blood does not boil, consult your physician.)
So far, it's all been only words, but words lead to deeds, and right now such words are everywhere. That's why our bishops's turn to offense is not only encouraging. They are needed to ward off something much worse than words from developing in our culture.

Beats 4 Peace: A Cultural Event
To bring attention to the situation in Latin America and the Caribbean we are throwing a solidarity party – Beats 4 Peace a cultural event at on Sunday July 30th from 6-10 pm at Luanda House. The themes of the show are Peace, sovereignty, and democracy in Venezuela, Brazil, and Colombia. For more information see Facebook event here.
Join us for an evening of art, music, poetry and dance weaving together different themes into an interactive cultural show of solidarity. Music will includes Brazilian artists, Zeca Polina and Mari Palhares, Mohammad Ali @socialisthiphop, Pablo & Ernesto Latin American musicians, Dj siez swift, and many more artists.
A decade ago a tide of progressive governments, defying Washington and its neoliberal polices took power across Latin American and the Caribbean through democratic means. Today that tide is receding and Latin America …is shifting towards more conservative neoliberal governments closely linked to Washington. This has led to an increased militarization of the region, support for right-wing coups and return to neoliberal austerity policies.
In Brazil the senate approved neoliberal labour reforms never before seen on the continent that seek to push back workers' rights for generations. These policies are being imposed through state violence as the Armed Forces were recently used to repress massive street protests clamoring for the resignation of defacto president, Temer.
In Colombia months after signing a historic peace agreement and the FARC rebels turning in all their weapons yet paramilitarism and violence against social movement leaders is on the rise . More than 156 social leaders were killed in the past 14 months. The United Nations said Colombia's government was undermining the country's peace process by failing to release imprisoned FARC members and protect disarmed guerrillas as promised.
In Venezuela, U.S imperialism aligned with violent local elites are trying to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nicolas Maduro. For the past three months the opposition have undertaken constant and violent street protests that have resulted in the deaths of over 100 people. The international media with its biased coverage of the conflict in Venezuela is fueling a possible civil war. The Chavistas have responded with a proposal for peace, through a democratic and participatory Constituent Assembly.
On July 30th Venezuelans will elected representatives to help write a new constitution that will determine the path forward for their country.
Fora Temer!
Constituyente por la Paz y por la Vida!
Peace with social justice!

Had to have been a bad bottle. Very little carbonation, oxidized and dull but had a best by date of July 2017. I will revisit this beer as the other beers from Ridgeway have been well made.
Reviewed in Roger Protz' "300 More Beers To Try Before You Die", a sequel to his CAMRA classic.
Outstanding English IPA. I would take this over most IPA's made in the U.S.
This ipa pours a hazy orange-yellow with a tall white head. Lacing is left.
Smells like a forest - grassy hops and English malts and barley.
At first it's kind of dry and starchy. As it warms though it gets really good. There is a genuine hop bitterness in this beer. Also some floral tones with a nice caramel maltiness backing it all up.
Mouth feel is smooth and relatively light. Creamy, though.
I appreciate the traditional IPA English style that Ridgeway followed. I can really taste the hop oils. It's as if I were drinking beer at an English pub in the 1800's.
Poured from a brown 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of light fruits, floral, some sweetness. Taste is light hops, malts, hints of tea, mild bitterness at the finish. Feels light in the mouth and overall is a decent beer, but nothing special.
O: now *this* is what we thought India Pale Ales were meant to be! like the brewery says, the style floated from the UK to India to the North American Pacific Coast and now it's found a good home in this brew back in the UK. I can hardly describe how happy I am to find a hoppy British IPA that uses good English hops ... wow!
If you're a noble-hops/British-hops fan, FIND THIS BEER!

Caddo Magnet High School was one of six Louisiana public schools named as a 2018 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.
Caddo Magnet was among the three high-performing schools on the list.
"The school's programming results in students who understand the importance of working with others and appreciate the value of hard work," a news release from the Louisiana Department of Education said of Caddo Magnet.
Monday's announcement marks the second time in 10 years that Caddo Magnet was named a Blue Ribbon School. It's the 16th time overall that a Caddo School has earned the distinction.
"All of Caddo Magnet is honored to receive this award and very proud to be designated as one of the top high schools in the United States," said Principal Michael Ilgenfritz. "This is a well-deserved recognition for all of the extra hours and weekends the teachers on this faculty put into educating their students and creating opportunities for them."
Caddo Magnet High was the only area-school that made the list. An awards ceremony will be held Nov. 7-8 in Washington, D.C. Each winner will receive an engraved plaque and flag to display on their campus.
"These six schools should be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished," said State Superintendent John White. "Their ability to either steadily improve student achievement over subsequent years or consistently remain one of the top performing schools in the state is a commendable achievement worthy of this distinguished honor."

Creative Minority Reader: Did Anti-Catholicism Sink the Titanic?
Divine intervention has long been a blamed by some for playing a role in the sinking of the Titanic during its maiden voyage in 1912.
Harland and Wolff, the East Belfast shipyard where the ship was manufactured, was notorious for not hiring Catholics.In the 1900's the workforce was entirely Protestant and virulently anti -Catholic.
"At Harland and Wolff it was not unknown for workers to paint on the sides of ships under construction the words "NO POPE" in letters ten feet high or more," writes naval historian David Allen Butler.

CROATIA: President Milanovic – You Are Fired! An Open Letter To The President Of Croatia
May 9, 2020 by inavukic 33 Comments
Zoran Milanovic, President of Croatia
Inset: Jasenovac Plaque honouring fallen Croatian defenders during Croatian Homeland War

President Zoran Milanovic,
Were I confident that this letter would not end up in a wastepaper basket in your office then this letter would not be an Open Letter, but sadly my confidence is justifiably shaky. Were the matters I will address in this letter not matters that are of utmost importance for Croatia and its people in the 21st century then this letter would not be written.
I am writing to you to add to the public awareness that you, as President, must do everything in your power to ensure that the values, the victims and the meaning for Croatia and its people of the 1990's Homeland War receive the full respect they deserve. After all, that is one of the most important roles of the President of the Republic of Croatia under its Constitution! When you do not do what you should be doing then you have no place to sit in the Office of the President; the highest office in the land representing Croatia and all it stands for, so to speak.
Article 94 of the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia includes the clause that says: "The President of the Republic of Croatia shall be responsible for the defence of the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia." Adding from the Historical Foundations of the Republic of Croatia in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia that Croatia's foundations lie "in the new Constitution of the Republic of Croatia (1990) and the victory of the Croatian nation and Croatia's defenders in the just, legitimate and defensive war of liberation, the Homeland War (1991-1995), wherein the Croatian nation demonstrated its resolve and readiness to establish and preserve the Republic of Croatia as an independent and autonomous, sovereign and democratic state," it follows that the President of the Republic of Croatia must act and show morally, politically and in every way adherence to and promotion of the values of the Homeland War and must not compromise them in any way for, such compromise jeopardises independence. Otherwise, if the president does not act in accordance with set principles and expectations, he or she has no place sitting in that office and if the appropriate authorities do nothing to impeach him or her from the Office when he or she has breached his or her duties as President then the people must act towards that goal. After all, the people directly elect their President in Croatia!
The Homeland War and those who lost their lives so that Croatia may be free and independent, so that it can carve its own future in a democracy, far removed from communist Yugoslavia heritage, cannot and must not be bullied, ridiculed, insulted, belittled, threatened or intimidated! And you do and have done that exactly that! Accordingly, you have in mine and many other eyes committed treason; betrayed the modern Croatian nation!
It is, of course, your latest public statements at Jasenovac on 22 April 2020 when you, regarding the plaque dedicated to 11 Croatian Homeland War of Independence defenders from HOS unit, which fought under the slogan "For Homeland Ready", said that "the plaque should be moved to somewhere else, thrown away…it has no relevance to the Homeland War… Those who fought in 1991, thought they were fighting under the salute For Homeland Ready (Za dom spemni), did not fight only for the Croatian state but for the restoration of the 1941 Croatian state," shined a spotlight on your incompetence and your despise for the Croatian state, you are supposed to protect and uphold.
These statements of yours unequivocally demonstrate that you disregard and betray purposefully the fact that almost 94% of Croatian voters (among which you evidently were not) voted in May 1991 for independence and that this fact and national resolve gave the mandate and legitimacy to those fighters and defenders who fought under whatever slogan and salute reinforced their loyalty and self-sacrifice to independence they were defending, fighting for. This May 1991 referendum had nothing to do with NDH and everything to do with the long-standing oppression at the hands of the Yugoslav communist regime.
You, President, should be ashamed of yourself and the Croatian people must have no other alternative but to remove you from the position they recently elected you for! I am quite certain you will not willingly resign from it all by your own self.
Your denial of the legitimacy Croatia's Homeland War defenders, including those fighting under the slogan "For Homeland Ready" has turned into deception and lies — lies to a nation of frightened people. For it has, due to statements like yours, become increasingly scary to express pride in the independence of Croatia and its war veterans, leading to a generalised fear of being labelled as some unwanted extremist because of one's expressed pursuit of joy and pride for what Croatia had achieved via its war of defence against Serb-led aggression!
Why do you need to prostitute the way you do the outcome of the 1991 vote for independence by almost 94% of Croatian voters? What drives you, President Milanovic? Hatred for the independence of Croatia? Contempt for the independence of Croatia? What!?
You were a professed Communist before you saw possibilities for personal advancement within the League of Communists of Croatia Party/ Social Democratic Party that would set itself up to benefit personally from the blood lost from those whose names are written on that HOS plaque in Jasenovac and thousands of others fighting for and defending today's independent state of Croatia. I'm not writing about your obvious infatuation with the dictatorship of Josip Broz Tito. It's obvious that you salivate over the thought of you being able to exercise the same unbridled power when it comes to degrading the will of the Croatian people for independence and secession from Yugoslavia.
But, President Milanovic, the buck does stop at your door; therefore, "you're fired."
Will the "shipping clerks" (the people) please come forward!
